BBC 100 Women Challenge
I have always been interested in using technology, data, and science in meaningful ways as well as contributing to social good =)
Most recently I contributed remotely from Denver, CO, to the BBC 100 Women Challenge. I was with team “Sparkles & Snaps”, led by artificial intelligence specialist Rumman Chowdury and software engineer Natalia Margolis. We built a speech recognition app, “all-ai”, to help track meeting dynamics and encourage speaking up.
We used a combination of speech recognition and natural language processing, together with requisite data extraction, transformation, and web application development to create this proof-of-concept gender-neutral app within ~3 intense days. The fun and camaraderie made the experience truly memorable!
